In ancient China, the dragon represented sacredness and peace, and was known as the god of water. They hover their dragon bodies on huge stone pillars that connect the world and hell at the bottom of the sea, using their billions of years of essence to suppress ghosts who want to do evil, and at the same time become prisoners of this stone gate.
They guard the peace of mankind and bring abundant rain to the world, and thousands of years of dragon culture have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of Chinese. "Take the fire to move the stars and land, and rise the clouds out of Dinghu", the dragon is always inseparable from the elements such as fire, fog, clouds, and electricity in people's cognition, and its appearance is always given the idioms that describe the grandeur such as "majestic atmosphere" and "grand view".
However, from the murals, poems, and drawings that have been handed down from ancient times, it can be seen that the Chinese dragon did not have wings or any body structure that could assist in flight. So, if dragons really existed, how did creatures of this size fly?
Dragons, this mysterious creature has two main forms in people's cognition, one is a Chinese dragon and the other is a Western dragon. The scene of the Western Dragon, with its huge wings, soaring through the sky is amazing.
However, the Chinese dragon is unique, incorporating the characteristics of thousands of animals in the world, such as the mouth of a crocodile, the claws of a phoenix, the tail of a horse, the dorsal fin of a fish, and the belly of a snake.
For this kind of doubt that has existed since ancient times, we can find some clues from literary texts. Legend has it that dragons are often associated with idioms such as clouds making rain and flying dragons riding clouds, and the dragon's side is always accompanied by clouds and mist, sometimes pouring heavy rain, sometimes covering the sky and the sun, as if the clouds and mist "support" the dragon to fly in the air.
These elements make us curious about how dragons fly.
There is a saying that dragons can take advantage of the water element in the clouds. Whereas, the breaking of valence bonds between atoms releases a large amount of energy, which is usually released in life in the form of heat or energy conduction to support other chemical reactions.
One possibility is that the clouds around the dragon's body absorb this energy, allowing the dragon to achieve a reaction unknown to humans, supporting the body's massive creatures, and the hydrogen and oxygen produced in the reaction can also be used as a medium to help the dragon fly, reducing the pressure of pure energy consumption.
Another possibility is that the dragon can absorb this part of the energy and use the peculiarities of its own body structure to achieve different reactions within the body. And when it comes to the special body structure of dragons, we have to mention the second point that dragons can fly.
The stone strikes the suspended stream and the snow is full of bays, and the five dragons are idle in the wild clouds. Scholars compare the body structure of the dragon with the barrel-shaped kite, and believe that the dragon's skeletal structure resembles a light cylinder. They insisted that the dragon's lightness was due to the fact that the bones were dense and porous, filled with substances similar to hydrogen or helium, allowing it to reduce its body density under its massive size and float in the air like a kite.
At the same time, the dragon can realize the way of self-control of the wind by adjusting the direction of the tail according to the environment and wind changes. When the substances stored in the dragon's body react, they can quickly switch between different reactions, producing helium and hydrogen when needed, carbon dioxide when they need to fall, and oxygen when flying high.
The dragon can not only absorb lightning energy, but also use its own water mist to convert into hydrogen and oxygen, absorb helium, oxygen, xenon and other gases in the air, adapt to various environments, and fly flexibly in the sky.
Wei Feng dances lightly and Yao Yao bamboo, and the flying dragon guards the Jade Gate Tower. The dragon in the East is not a physical existence, but an emotional sustenance and spiritual yearning. It is believed that the appearance of the dragon means the coming of a thunderstorm.
At a time when ancient science had not yet developed, people believed in the legends of "the sky is round and the earth is round" and "Pangu opened the world", and they were full of curiosity and expectation for the unknown.
In the season of drought and water shortage, people pin their hopes on unknown areas in the sky, and through imagination, characters such as the thunder and lightning mother are deeply engraved in their hearts. They imagine the shape of the clouds and look forward to good luck coming again.
The dragon, as a symbol of power and prestige in our country, has a deep meaning. First of all, the dragon symbolizes tolerance and diversity. In this vast and populous land of China, people fuse all kinds of different creatures together to create a magical and psychedelic species, which has the advantages of all creatures, and skillfully blends all imaginations to form a strong and strong creature.
It is also the embodiment of national unity, cultural tolerance, creative recognition and strong yearning in Chinese culture. Secondly, the dragon also represents the cosmology of the unity of heaven and man.
Chinese pay attention to etiquette and hope to reflect the majestic momentum in benevolence, and the dragon plays an important role in the cycle of human beings seeking rain, divine dragon perception, divine dragon giving rain, and human harmony.
The Chinese emphasize the concept of benevolence and love for others, the concept of development of yin and yang, the concept of multicultural inclusiveness, and so on. Under the guidance of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, the world has increasingly seen China's power as a major country in harmony and inclusiveness, and has also recognized China's spirit of being a major country through mutual understanding and assistance.
Our goal is to show our country's grace, but we also want to promote each other's development in a peaceful way, through the idea of making friends and supporting each other.
While appreciating the demeanor of the dragon, it is important to remember clearly that although the spirit can have yearning and pursuit, we are still in the land of reality. Instill hope in yourself, but don't indulge in illusions and pray that the heavens will satisfy all your desires.
The gods are subjective and our spiritual sustenance, but if we take them as all and become passive and inactive, it is not only a waste of life, but also a misunderstanding of faith.
Nowadays, star-chasing has become a part of the lives of many young people, but what does the star bring us? I'm afraid it's not all positive energy. In order to chase stars, many college students abandon their studies and skip classes just to see them.
Some young people even put their entire lives on their favorite celebrities, stalking them and even installing cameras in their homes. As a result, not only did they not get closer to the person they liked, but because of the restrictions of the law, they became more and more distant from their ideals.
Gina has been obsessed with the piano since she was a child, and admires Lang Lang who plays the piano very much. On her unremitting pursuit of the piano, she finally succeeded in chasing stars and became Lang Lang's wife.
Chen Jingrun has been yearning for the Gothic conjecture that climbed to the top of mathematics since he was a child, and he admired Hua Luogeng, and finally created a miracle proved by the world's Gothic conjecture.
Although the dragon is only a non-existent thing created subjectively, it has become the spiritual sustenance of thousands of Chinese sons and daughters to unite and forge ahead. It inherits the understanding of the principles of tolerance, innovation, diligence and majesty in the 7,000-year-old civilization of our ancestors, and also teaches us to realize our dreams through our own hands and not to rely completely on the outside world.
